Your Calcium is okay, its of no danger to your system for it to be a bit high. Don't worry about it. :biggrin: You still probably want to raise your SG to around 1.024-1.026. Your cycle may be restarting because of your new rock, or it could be ending keep testing, but you can definitely see a change. I think your pH is a bit on the high side as well. You may want to try a water change to combat that.

Do you have an alkalinity test?

Some of your SPS look like they are receeding, or experiencing RTN (rapid tissue necrosis). Have you seen changes in them over time, or have they always been like that?

Well hopefully they will reclaim their abandon skeletons and you'll start to see some new colors and growth develop!

Do you think my lights are strong enough. The corals are about 9-10 inches in the water and im planing to have all sps on the topand just before the middle and then softies and LPS.

The coral reclaiming it's abandoned skin and is getting a florescent green color I will post some pictures as soon as I get new batteries in my camera.
I got a new acropora from OA(ocean aquatics) its quite nice and starting to color up at the base and the tips. The tip are blue and the base of the coral is florescent green. The middle par is getting a green tip. I am hoping that the whole coral will color up. BTW it is a frag.

My water parliaments are as follows.
Temp. 80 degrees Fahrenheit
SG. 1.024
pH. 8.4
Mg. 1026(on the raise got to take it in to get it re tested)
Ca. 425
Dkh. 10.6
No2. 0
No3. 0
Ammonia. 0

I am getting some more flow into my tank when I buy the tunze nano stream 6055(I believe) and later on a Koralia 4 power head witch will bring my flow up to about 2000 gph. ( will this be to much flow for my 46?)

Few picture. I will post pictures when I get new live stock or corals.

Tiny naso-will be relocated to a 200 g.

Nice rock work.

Looks like its coming along well.

You may want to try looking to see if your camera has a macro option (looks like a little flower). It will allow you to take better photos of your corals, and when you want to look back to compare growth it will make a huge difference.
